UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

CHARLES HEATON, on BAINBRIDGE, NEW YORK.

COPY ING OR RECORD BOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent, No. 364,715, dated June14, 1887.

Application filed June 1-1, 1886. Serial No. 205.163. (No model.)

To aZZ whom/jammy concern:

Be it known that l, OHAELEs HEATON, of Bainbridge, in the county ofGhenango and State of New York, have invented certain new panyingdrawings, whichform part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in copying or record books; andit consists in a book which is composed of alternate leaves of writingand copying paper and stubs, the

, leaves of writing-paper being perforated along their inner edges, soas to be readily torn from the book, as will be more fully describedhereinafter. v

The object of my invention is to provide a copying and record book, sothat after letters or communications of any kind have been written uponthe leaves of writing-paper an impression can be taken upon thepreceding sheet of copying-paper, and then the sheet ofwriting-paper-torn from the book, and then the answer, bill, or invoiceto that letter can be attached when received to the succeeding stub, andthus the communication and the answer will be always kept togetherwithout increasing the thicknessof the book.

The accompanying drawing represents an end view of a bookembodying myinvention.

A represents the cover; 13, the leaves of ordinary copying-paper; O, theleaves of writing-paper, such as is used in ordinary correspondence, andG the stubs. The leaves 0 are perforated along the line D in the usualmanner, so that after having been written upon they can be readily tornfrom the book. A stub, G, follows each sheet of writing-paper, and tothis stub the answer, when received, is pasted.

The leaves of the copying and writing paper and stubs alternatethroughout the book, so that after a letter, bill, invoice, orcommunication of any kind has been written upon one sheet, 0, it can becopied upon the corresponding sheet of copying-paper before beingremoved from the book. In case the communication is to be written upon atype-writer, the leaf 0 is to be removed, the con'imunieation written,and then copied in the book in the usual manner. away after having beencopied in the book, and then when the answer, bill, or invoice a isvreceived it is pasted to the stub G, following the one from which thiscommunication is torn. A copy of the original communication and theanswer thereto are thus kept together,

This communication is sent so that a person at a glance can see all thathas taken place. The thickness of the book is not increased by pastingletters to the stubs G, for they merely replace the sheets which havebeen torn out.

The leaves of copying-paper will be numbered, and the book provided withan index in the usual manner. By referring to the index and then to thenumbered page the 0riginal communication and the answer thereto will befound together. This book is specially suited for businesscorrespondence, but is applicable tocorrespondence of all kinds.

Having thus described my invention, l claim- A copying and record bookcomposed of alternate sheets of copying and writing paper and stubs, thesheets of writing-paper being adapted to be removed at a line above thelower line of the stubs, leaving space to attach the answer to such stubwithout increasing the thickness of the book, substantially as shown anddescribed.

In testimony whereof I afifix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
